Pupil's Book, Unit 6 page 68 2 Listen to the radio show. Check your answers to Activity 1. Welcome to the ‘What is it?'quiz - the quiz where children have to decide what an object from the past was, and who used it. Let's welcome today's guests! Hi, I'm Marcus. And I'm Sujin. Ok. So here's the first object. Marcus, you're first. Well. . . umm. . . that looks like it's part of a car. Or maybe it's part of a plane. What's your guess? I think it's part of a car. I think taxi drivers might use it. Sujin. . . your turn. Well, I think I know what it is. It might be an old hairdryer? That's what it looks like. So I think it was used by hairdressers. Am I right? Yes, that's right! Well done Sujin! 10 points! This is a hairdryer, made from plastic around the 1970s. Let's take a look at our next object. Sujin. Oooo . . . that's a strange-looking thing. I think it was used to make butter. No, it can't be that, it's too small. I've changed my mind, it must be for making ice cream. And what do you think, Marcus? Oh wow! I think it could be something that scientists use. Maybe for mixing different things together? Well, those were both great guesses, but, sorry - neither of you get the points. This is a record player. It's from the 1950s. It was used by DJs and musicians to play music! Let's take a look at our final object. Sujin. Oh! I've no idea. . . . Perhaps cleaners may use this? Maybe they'd clean dishes with it? That can't be right though, I don't know at all. I know this one, I think. It must be an old mobile phone. It looks like one I saw at a museum. Businessmen and politicians used them - in the 1980s, didn't they? Well done Marcus, that's right! 10 points! So after three objects, Marcus has 10 points and Sujin has 10 points too, So we need to look at one more item to decide today's winner. Here it is. Marcus, you're first. OK. I think I know this. I think it's something that's used by architects. They might use it to see how tall buildings are. That's my guess. Sujin? I think scientists might use this to look at really small things. So it's a - what's-it-called - a microscope. Sujin, that's right! It's a microscope from the 1880s. 10 points for Sujin and congratulations, you're the winner! Here's your prize! How do you feel? Brilliant! Just brilliant! Thank you! And thank you Marcus! I hope you enjoyed the game! Yes, it was great! See you next time, everyone! 3 Listen again. Complete the notes about each object.

Pupil's Book, Unit 6 page 71 1 Listen and repeat. I've been working here for the last four years. She's been working here for three months. He's hasn't been working here for a long time. We've been living here since January. Have you been working here long?
Pupil's Book, Unit 6 page 72 The daydreamer Mike was twelve years old. Both his parents worked. His father was an architect and his mother was a librarian. This meant that they were out most of the day. When Mike came home from school, there was never anybody at home. He used to leave his things by the front door and get the sandwich his mother always left for him in the kitchen. Then he used to go to his bedroom, turn on his computer and start his homework. This week he was working on a project about famous people in technology. Mike liked working on the computer. But today he was tired. He started to daydream! I might be a programmer when I grow up! I could make a lot of money! I'd have my own helicopter to pick me up! Wouldn't that be funny? The front door banged. It was Mike's mother. ‘Hi Mum, ' he said. ‘What have you been doing since you got back from school?’ she asked him. ‘I've been finding out about famous people in technology. Did you know Mark Zuckerberg was only twelve when he became a computer programmer? I'm twelve! I wish I could work and earn some money! ’ Mum laughed, ‘If you work hard at school, you might be an architect like your dad one day. ' Mike went back to his homework. But instead of working he started daydreaming again. I might be an architect in the future! I could design a lot of things! I might build flats and be a star in architecture! Or build strange palaces for kings! The front door banged again. It must be his dad back from work. Good! Time for supper! Mike switched off the computer, and went to join his parents downstairs. ‘Hello, ' his father said, when Mike ran into the kitchen. ‘What have you been doing today?’ Mike told him about the famous people in technology, such as Bill Gates who earns $250 dollars every second, and how he was now one of the most successful people in the world. ‘I'd like to start working, ' he told his father. ‘Try dog walking! ’ his dad suggested. ‘A lot of people don't have time to walk their dogs. ' His dad was only joking, but Mike started to daydream again. I might be a dog walker, I may do it after school! I could do that now! I might start a company, that'd be so cool! But I wonder how? ‘How do I start a dog walking company?' Mike asked. ‘Easy! ’ Dad said. ‘You've been learning computer programming for the last two years. Design an app so that people in the neighbourhood can contact you to walk their dogs. But remember you can only do it part-time because of school. ' So Mike designed an app. He called his company ‘Smart Dog Walking’. A lot of people downloaded his app and in no time at all he had a lot of dogs to walk. ‘Smart Dog Walking’was a success. Mike was very busy though. There was no more time for daydreaming!
Pupil's Book, Unit 6 page 74 2 Listen and read the text. Check your ideas in Activity 1. Economic sectors There are three main economic sectors. They are called the primary, the secondary and the tertiary sectors. These sectors make a chain of production which provide customers with goods and services. The primary sector Workers in the primary sector get the materials we need to make things. These are called raw materials. People work in agriculture, fishing, mining and forestry. Agriculture is important because farmers produce crops like wheat, fruit and vegetables. They also keep animals for meat and sheep for wool. The forestry industry cuts down trees for wood, and mining means digging coal or other minerals out of the ground or oil from the sea. The secondary sector People in the secondary sector take the raw materials and change or make them into things that people can use. Most of these products are made in factories. For example, clothes are made from cotton or wool, furniture from wood and cars from metal. Coal is used to supply us with the energy we need for our homes. The tertiary sector The tertiary sector is a very large sector. It is also called the service sector because the people who work in this sector provide a service. For example, hairdressers and teachers work in the tertiary sector as they are providing a service. At a hospital, the doctors, nurses and scientists who are employed there provide a health service. Pupil's Book, Unit 6 page 75 2 Listen to the first part of a conversation. Who is Molly? Underline your answer. Welcome to the show Molly. Thanks for coming to talk to us about your work. No problem! Now, I know you didn't always want to be a hairdresser. Tell us how it all started for you here in Wales. Well, my parents wanted me to get top marks at school, especially in science because my dad was the biology teacher there. I was always more interested in fashion and I used to draw lots of pictures of my favourite stars and their new looks. My mum said I should stop wasting my time! 5 Listen to the next part. For each question, choose the correct answer. I used to draw lots of pictures of my favourite stars and their new looks. My mum said I should stop wasting my time! Right, so then you went to art school. What happened there? There were lots of talented kids there and I suddenly didn't feel very confident. I gave up after a year. So I asked for some training at the local hairdresser's instead. I started off just cleaning the floor, which wasn't very exciting. I nearly quit and even my friend Gordon was earning more than me as a computer programmer. I was really jealous! But now you're working in one of the country's top hairdresser's. Tell us about a typical day. Actually, I am so lucky because although my salary still isn't great, I get to choose my days off. All the staff are really friendly and cheerful. We've now got a famous architect and a politician as regular customers!
